This is a slice of my philosophical, lay scientific, musical, religious skepticism, and poetic musings. (All poems are my own.)
The science and philosophy side meet in my study of cognitive philosophy; Dan Dennett was the first serious influence on me, but I've moved beyond him.
The poems are somewhat related, as many are on philosophical or psychological themes. That includes existentialism and questions of selfhood, death, and more. Nature and other poems will also show up here on occasion.

Error No. 3? Geologists taking a story with legendary
elements, at least, to be literally true, if even in parts.

Error No. 4? Taking the New Testament Gospels as anything
close to history. That includes assuming that Jesus was crucified over a
Passover period. If the “Palm Sunday” story is true, this would actually fit
other festivals more closely, as Hyam Maccoby, among others, has argued.

Error No. 4A? Assuming that (outside of Luke, who still
blows it) these books were written to be taken as documents of history, not
polemic.

Error No. 5? Assuming that a Yeshua bar Yusuf, if he
existed, had the approximate life and death dates that literalists and
semi-literalists claim.

Error No. 6? Assuming we can know enough about this Yeshua,
from the Christian New Testament, to even guess at facts that might mitigate
Error No. 5.

Error No. 7: Assuming that this Yeshua was a historic
personage.

Ohhh, other than THAT, there’s nothing wrong with
geologists, on what’s probably shaky (pun highly intended) evidence, assuming
that something from the geological record proves a Jew named Jesus was
crucified on April 3, 33 CE.

Now, they do leave the door to the world of rationality cracked open a small bit:

In terms of the earthquake data alone, (Jefferson) Williams and his team
acknowledge that the seismic activity associated with the crucifixion
could refer to “an earthquake that occurred sometime before or after the
crucifixion and was in effect ‘borrowed’ by the author of the Gospel of
Matthew, and a local earthquake between 26 and 36 A.D. that was
sufficiently energetic to deform the sediments of Ein Gedi but not
energetic enough to produce a still extant and extra-biblical historical
record.”

“If the last possibility is true, this would mean that the report of
an earthquake in the Gospel of Matthew is a type of allegory,” they
write.
